Renowned for combining the convenience of a supermarket with the expertise and service of a specialist shop, customers are invited to discover an array of responsibly-sourced, quality food and drinks.
Firmly committed to supporting the local community at all times, Waitrose is working closely with its suppliers to ensure deliveries remain on track and shelves are fully stocked of all essential items. The opening of the new store reinforces the company’s ethos of always giving more than it takes – from its customers, communities and each other.
With a ‘quality not quantity’ philosophy, Waitrose prides itself on its long-term relationships with farmers and producers who share its commitment to sustainable and ethical practices. Dedicated to sourcing locally wherever possible, shoppers can stock up on variety of delicious produce from the UAE including fresh fruit and vegetables, organic salmon and free-range eggs.
When it comes to home cooking, and keeping kids entertained, Waitrose believes in making things easier for families with delicious ingredients, recipe shortcuts and meal inspirations. The No 1 from Waitrose & Partners range offers the very best new products and ingredients with a focus on small, specialist suppliers showcasing the most interesting and top-quality flavours and ingredients we have to offer.
For easy home-baking, the Essential Waitrose range is the perfect go-to for everyday products, made in the right way and produced with quality and care. The plant-based Waitrose Vegan section features flavour-packed products, including complete meals for a quick-and-easy dinner, and staple vegan must-haves. For lighter meal options– shoppers can delight in the Waitrose Love Life range, developed with the expertise and knowledge of in-house nutritionists and award-winning chefs.
Committed to the highest standards in quality and environmentally-friendly practises – only the best quality of fresh produce is available at the counters. Expert staff are on hand to provide knowledgeable advice such as how to prepare the perfect cheeseboard; the freshest catch of the day; prime cuts for a barbeque or what’s hot out of the oven at the bakery. The store is also home to the first ‘refillable zone’ which encourages customers to bring in their own containers and fill up on certain staples including nuts, coffee, pulses and dried fruits in a bid to reduce the use of plastic.
Sunil Kumar, CEO Waitrose UAE at Waitrose & Partners, said: “We are doing all that we can to support our customers and community in the current challenging climate. We continue to reinforce our strict hygiene standards and follow UAE government directives diligently. Keeping everyone who shops with and works with us safe, will as always, be our priority. We believe that by always being fair, never wasteful and transforming the lives of those who create, eat and enjoy it – our food can be a force for good. We very much look forward to welcoming residents and visitors to the Motor City branch”.
As part of its commitment towards a greener, cleaner, more sustainable future, both the supermarket and car park have been fitted with environmentally friendly solar panels. Waitrose aims to use natural resources as efficiently as possible and is continuously innovating to reduce its environmental impact and emissions.
